A Confident Testimony

Backstory:
Paul was arrested on false charges at the temple in Jerusalem. Informed of a plot to murder Paul, The Roman commander sent him to Caesarea. Felix, the governor of Judea, realized that the charges against Paul were bogus, but he didn’t want to upset the Jews, so he postponed a decision. After 2 years, Felix was summoned to Rome. With the coming of the new governor, Festus, the Jewish leaders renewed their efforts to have Paul condemned. When it became clear to Paul that he could not expect justice from Festus, he used his right as a Roman citizen and appealed his case to Caesar. When King Herod Agrippa II and his sister Bernice came to visit the new governor, Festus discussed Paul’s case with Agrippa, who asked to hear Paul plead his case. In the court of King Herod Agrippa, Paul had never been bolder.

God’s Story:
Blessings to my servant Paul! He is a strong and passionate individual. At the risk of his own life, he is willing to testify and proclaim my Son as the Messiah before audiences large and small, humble and royal. His dedication and courage will play a great part in the spread of the gospel to the ends of the earth.
